Frank Ocean Grammy Recap/Live Performance

By now you’ve probably heard the exciting news – Frank Ocean has won two of the Grammy’s that he was nominated for: Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. This would be a monumental achievement in any artist’s career. And of course, in addition to taking two Grammy’s home, Frank Ocean gave a stunning performance of his song Forrest Gump accompanied by visuals reminiscent of the Forrest Gump movie. Like promised, Frank kept his word, and indeed rocked a yellow tux at the grammy’s. Watch the video of Frank’s performance above and let us know what you thought of tonight’s winners.

In a short interview with MTV, Frank also lets us know that he is around 12 or 13 songs deep into his next project. Who knows when we’ll get any more info on it, but knowing Frank, we’ll most likely get some news about it out of the blue. Stay tuned!

Congratulations to @frank_ocean and the rest of Odd Future. Wolf gang!

I thought It was amazing. He always pits on a good performance and those who dont understand it is not a true fan point blank.

not his best performance, im a fan but that was not good….
for those people saying that he shouldnt have won based only on this performance, just stfu, listen to the album and other live performances. he DESERVED it. i dont know what happened to him here but he must’ve been nervous af.

he was nervous, but still did great for a first performance… AT THE GRAMMYS. &FUCK chris brown. He beats women, and homosexuals. I guess he does it to make himself feel “dominant”. Fuck cb, he could eat a dick. Great job frank, do what you do maaayynn!

i saw frank perform at lollapalooza this year, and i can guarantee you that this man has one of the best live voices in music history. his performance at the grammy’s may not have been his best, but it was most definitely not garbage. did it ever occur to any of you that maybe he wasnt missing the notes, but maybe it was just stylization? i would love to see you perform live at the grammy awards and do a better job. #teamocean

What he did took courage. He performed good, there was excellent visuals, and it was a very courageous song choice. Plus he rocked a yellow tux. You need to take into consideration that channel orange is his first big album release, pretty much his debut and it is an outstanding 10/10 album,. Rolling Stones magazine have it the second best album of 2012. That is a ton of pressure to perform to. If you had millions of people watching you you’d probably piss yourself so you can’t say it was garbage. Listen to the music. Wolf gang!

no but at least good and the song itself sucked idk if he was talking about good it still sucked

Damn right I expect him to sound the same from his album, that’s his job, he sounded horrible! What is wrong with people, if you don’t sound like you do recorded, your a fake! Tweaking the vocals to make you sound like something your not! Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, Jack White, The Black Keys, Rihanna, and FUN. all sounded like there albums, actually some of them sounded even better!

I get it, your all big fans and giving support but you all need to learn to face the facts when something wasn’t good, at all, and admit it. Also, maybe he was nervous but I didn’t see any of the other artists crocking like he did and I bet so many of them were just as nervous as he was. Its no excuse.
